Introduction:

“Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.” ― Jalaluddin Rumi

Sometimes one needs to
step back and assess the situation at hand. Is this really what I want? If one
is impatient, then loosing will most likely be the outcome. However, if
patience, resolved and with the belief that those things that matter are in
reach or even a possibility, the situation may change.

This is called hope. Hope for lovers is
always painful because it is based on a probability not a fact but then if one
gives up to soon or settles what does that say about the persons character,
commitment, and true feelings. You live with a million sorrows.

Finally, if you give up to soon on someone
you love then you really did not love that person in the first place and/or you
will live with regret. A perfect example is my perception ofAdele.

Adelebecame
an instant sensation with all those “broken
heart songs”. She has made millions. Moved on from that infamous lover,
married, had a baby and presumably was happy; however her most recent hits are
more of the same, "broken heart songs". What does this really
tell us aboutAdele?
Remember we are defined by our emotions and actions.

I am featuring Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain"(2). YouTube video was uploaded on Nov 16, 2011 by AdeleVEVO. This song does not reflect my emotions on the contrary, it tells us that "REAL LOVE" is worth the wait."Set Fire To The Rain" (3)I let it fall, my heart,And as it fell you rose to claim itIt was dark and I was overUntil you kissed my lips and you saved meMy hands, they're strongBut my knees were far too weak,To stand in your armsWithout falling to your feetBut there's a side to youThat I never knew, never knew.All the things you'd sayThey were never true, never true,And the games you playYou would always win, always win.[Chorus:]But I set fire to the rain,Watched it pour as I touched your face,Well, it burned while I cried'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!When I lay with youI could stay thereClose my eyesFeel you here foreverYou and me togetherNothing gets better'Cause there's a side to youThat I never knew, never knew,All the things you'd say,They were never true, never true,And the games you'd playYou would always win, always win.[Chorus:]But I set fire to the rain,Watched it pour as I touched your face,Well, it burned while I cried'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!I set fire to the rainAnd I threw us into the flamesWhen it fell, something died'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!Sometimes I wake up by the door,That heart you caught must be waiting for youEven now when we're already overI can't help myself from looking for you.[Chorus:]I set fire to the rain,Watched it pour as I touched your face,Well, it burned while I cried'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your nameI set fire to the rain,And I threw us into the flamesWhen it fell, something died'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, ohhhh!Oh nooooLet it burn, ohLet it burnLet it burnI hope you like this selection as much as I do and have a blessed evening or morning. Thank you for your continued support. Remember music is a language and these are my thoughts tonight. FYI I don't give up on people I love and want in my life. I have enough regrets already LOL!Peace and Love alwaysDiana Mary Sharpton

My darling... the love, passion and desire I have for you drives a living breathing patience living my heart. This means that existence without you is not acceptable and this being my choice, I would say plainly that my love for you is enduring.References:1. Photograph: Young Woman Walking in the Rain.

This weekend on
I watched NBC-Meet the Press with
David Gregory and their guest was Mitch Mcconnell, Minority Leader of
the Senate. His comments about the White House and the president in
particular being a bully and using strong armed tactics (harassment) on various
government groups to influence and or move into action pursuant to his agenda,
left me perplexed. It was the way he kept going OVER and OVER the same point that
got me thinking he was definitely trying to convey an agenda and submit a “Bait
and Switch” tactic/plan of his own.

Wow, folks! A
president that is actually trying to drive a do nothing congress/senate to legislate for the better good of their constituents (i.e. The American
People)! I don’t think President Obama had anything to do with the IRS’s
harassment of conservative groups. Might I suggest that the IRS acted in
revenge on their own and were just getting back for the conservative oversight “power
impediments” that were enacted upon a few years ago by the senate (i.e. government
(bureaucrats) do have memories and yes this was unethical and possibly criminal).
It sounds like the President is doing his job and on this point, which is not just my outlook on the situation;
however, it is the opinion of a majority of Americans according to the most
recent published polls (see below). What is almost hilarious is that President
Obama has technically climbed in the polls, after all this negative press
bashing and deck stacking.

So, let’s write
to those DO NOTHING congress/senate men and women that you elected and
please remind them to start working on issues that are considered moving
forward such as - Immigration, Gun Control and NOT repealing medical
services for all Americans which was already passed.

According to the Huffington Post (1):

“Rating -- the CNN/ORC and
ABC/Washington Post surveys, plus another national poll released on Tuesday by
the American Research Group and the ongoing daily tracking surveys from Gallup
and Rasmussen Reports, show virtually no net change in Obama's job rating since
April. An average of the five polls rounds to 50 percent in April and 50
percent last week. [Pollster chart]

IRS
and Benghazi controversies are potentially damaging - Yet the recent controversies roiling Washington
present the "potential for significant damage" to the Obama
administration, according to the Post/ABC poll: "Americans by a vast 74-20
percent see the IRS' behavior as inappropriate, with most feeling that way
strongly -- and 56 percent see it as a deliberate attempt to harass
conservative organizations, not a mere administrative error. The public divides
on whether or not the administration is honestly disclosing what it knows about
the IRS' actions; 45 percent suspect a cover-up, 42 percent instead see full
transparency...Further, on the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in
Benghazi, Libya, last fall, suspicions of a cover-up rise to a majority, 55
percent. And in this case only a third of Americans are persuaded that the
Obama administration is disclosing honestly what it knows about what.“There is really nothing more to
say except, I know I am voting against any and all “ENCUMBANT” political
positions in my area! This is where we need change.

I agree with Mr.
Sixx's tweet which was highlighted in the Huffington Post (1) "Pick your priority or pick your poison. Pretty embarrassing screen shot Kim. Isn't your 15 minutes up… http://instagram.com/p/Zj904sGLoT/" and honestly feel that Kim Kardashian (KK for the rest of this rant) leaves the impression that she lacks the
humility and philanthropic concern for events affecting our communities at large (i.e. America).
She is strictly about promotion, marketing and the collection of money; the eye
looks inward in this case.

I guess I am
DONE with KK’s arrogance and the constant media machine churn. I was hoping
that she would take a break, go home and have her baby quietly, but no such luck! I, for one, am not going to
write about KK anymore in order to stop providing further credence and or
validation to her constant intercourse with "Publicity".
